Current Pedicure Colors: Top Trends for 2023
Spring has sprung, and with it, the annual quest for the perfect pedicure color begins. As we transition from boots to sandals, our toes are ready for their moment in the sun. But with countless shades to choose from, where do you start? Let's dive into the current pedicure color trends and find your perfect match.
First, let's consider the color wheel. This year, we're seeing a resurgence of classic colors with a modern twist, along with some bold, unexpected shades. Whether you're a fan of neutrals, brights, or something in between, there's a pedicure color out there for you.
Neutral Ground
For those who prefer a more understated look, neutrals are a safe bet. But don't let the name fool you - this season's neutrals are anything but boring.
Think 'nude' but not as you know it. We're seeing a shift towards warmer, more natural shades that complement a range of skin tones. Think 'Barely There' by Essie or 'Fleshpot' by OPI.
Soft Pinks
Soft pinks are another neutral staple, offering a subtle pop of color without being too bold. This season, look for shades with a soft, matte finish, like 'Ballet Slippers' by Essie or 'Bubble Bath' by OPI.
For a slightly more statement look, consider a dusty rose shade. 'Rose Service' by Essie or 'Lincoln Park After Dark' by OPI are both beautiful options.
Grays and Nudes
Gray is the new black, and that goes for pedicures too. Shades like 'Grey Matter' by Essie or 'You Don't Know Jacques!' by OPI add a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
For a true nude pedicure, consider 'Topless and Barefoot' by Essie or 'Bubble Bath' by OPI. These shades are designed to mimic the color of your skin, creating a natural, polished look.
Bright and Bold
If you're feeling adventurous, there are plenty of bright and bold pedicure colors to choose from this season.
From vibrant blues to fiery reds, these shades are all about making a statement. But remember, bold doesn't have to mean brash. With the right shade and finish, a bright pedicure can be both eye-catching and elegant.
Blues and Purples
Blue and purple shades are big news this season. For a bold look, consider a deep, jewel-toned shade like 'Wicked' by OPI or 'Butler Please' by Essie. For something a little softer, try a pastel blue like 'Mint Candy Apple' by Essie or a lavender shade like 'Suzi Loves Cowboys' by OPI.
For a truly unique look, consider a blue-purple shade like 'Can't Find My Dutchess' by Essie or 'I'm Not Really a Waitress' by OPI.
Reds and Oranges
Red and orange shades are always a hit in the summer months, and this season is no different. For a classic red pedicure, try 'Cayman Cowboys' by Essie or 'Big Apple Red' by OPI. For a more modern take, consider a burnt orange shade like 'Pump Up the Jam' by Essie or 'Malaga Wine' by OPI.
For something a little different, try a red-orange shade like 'Vamos a la Playa' by Essie or 'Neon Lights' by OPI.
As you can see, there's a world of pedicure color possibilities out there. So, whether you're a neutral lover or a bright and bold fan, there's a shade out there for you. So, go ahead, treat your toes, and step out in style. After all, a great pedicure is a small thing that can make a big difference to your mood and your look. Happy pedicuring!
